When Curry performed his postgame on-court interview with ESPN’s J.A. Adande, he was unceremoniously holding the game ball. Adande’s final question finally acknowledged the oddity and Steph took the opportunity to shout out his ill coach.

It’s McGee who has arguably been the series MVP. His energy changed the tempo of the game in the third quarter and the Warriors started fast breaking on offense — he finished with 14 points on 6 of 8 shooting and was a whopping +24 in just 14 minutes

Draymond Green’s second foul with just under a minute to play in the first quarter of the Warriors and Trail Blazers Game 3 first round matchup caused acting head coach Mike Brown to motion Klay Thompson off the bench. But Klay was forced to pace awkwardly back and forth as Draymond motioned him back to his seat.

Durant practiced on Friday, which makes this news a little surprising. Patrick McCaw is expected to play more minutes just as he did in Game 2. It’s unclear yet whether Shaun Livingston or Matt Barnes will suit up in Portland.

Warriors head coach Steve Kerr will not be on the sideline for Game 3 of the Warriors-Blazers series Saturday night due to illness, the team announced Saturday.

Payton grew up in Oakland, the city that Green calls home with the Warriors. The outspoken stars also host an internet trash talking show, but Payton said he would never play favorites when making his decision.

Chris Paul said after the latest game that losing Griffin would keep the team from running offense through the post as much, where other players cut and move off of the 6-foot-10, 250-pounder.

ESPN’s Kevin Arnovitz joined The Audible on Friday, and argued that the Warriors should hold Kevin Durant out until the second round of the NBA Playoffs.

The power players are purposely steering draft experts and other teams in a direction they don’t actually intend to go. It’s smart, perceptive behavior you expect from playoff contending organizations. Behavior like this is why so many people raved about the hirings.

“My mother definitely was still hard working me, especially on the basketball,” said McGee. “I think it was sixth grade, and I had a bad game. She had me up at 6:00 a.m. running around, running around in the snow in boots, like working out.”
